HF 1753 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Sale of premium cigar from a movable place of business permitted in certain circumstances.

HF 1753 amends Minnesota law to permit licensed tobacco distributors with a valid distributor license for at least five consecutive years to sell *only* premium cigars from movable businesses (like kiosks or vehicles) under specific conditions. This exception applies solely to premium cigars, not other tobacco products, and requires distributors to pay all applicable taxes while conducting on-site demonstrations of cigar manufacturing and cultural education. The bill directly affects licensed tobacco distributors seeking flexibility in selling premium cigars outside permanent retail locations. It modifies Minnesota Statute 461.21 by creating a limited exception to the general ban on selling tobacco products from movable businesses.
